A regular monthly medical journal
is published in the English and jap
anese languages in Japan. 1t is
issued by a society of medical men,
composed of native and foreign gra.
duates in medicine. The number
for December last has long article
from the pen of DIR. M. Goto, of

the article.

Abolish the Basemant

The above precautions, if not defective,
guard basement against dampness, and
also against foul air, coal-gas, etfluvia from
privy-wells and cess-pools, sewer-gas and
the various exhalations of not infre.
quently filth-sodden soil, and it should not
be forgotten that an unhealthy basement
usually means an unhealthy house. Pol
luted air is sucked all over the house by
the rise of heated air from the basement
If We must have Easements to live in. such
safeguards should be enforced. But. for
one, | wish to record my protest against
our modern living-eellar. A well-venti-
lated basement is almost an impossibility
from its low level, and it is so difficult to
get our ideal conditions perfectly execu-
ted, that practically they are seldom met
with. have seen great many cases of
sickness which seemed to me due to base
ment-living, and many cases of tubercu-
losis which seemed to have been there de-
veloped. The last is particularly noticea-
bic among servant girls of foreign birth.
In the experience of physicians in some
sections, it is rare to find servant girl liv-
ing and working in low basement who
has good health, though previous to COM
ing to this country, and being subjected to
such conditions, good health is stated to be
the general rule. Many people have at
tacks of sickness, following time of ex-
posure in basement, with great regular
ity. Would it not be better for house
builders and architects to plan for dwell
ings built more above ground? More of
a lot has to be sacrificed, but perhaps
enough may be saved in healthfulness and
stair-climbing to compensate for the loss.
City yards are of slight value at best. A
good cellar is gained by such change,
and upstairs dining-rooms and kitchens are

cape from an owner unconscious of the de-
| feet in the mechanism. The links of a
necklace in time become worn, and the ar
ticle is taken off to be mended; the spring
or other fastening of bracelet is easily
broken, and the bracelet yanishes. With
regard to ornaments fastened to parts of the
savage body, mutilation is necessary, the
ear must be bored, the nose be pierced, the
cheeks or lips be slit, and, even after these
surgical operations are completed, the ar
ticles used for adornment are generally in
convenient, and sometimes, by their weight
or construction, are extremely painful. In
striking contrast with decorations worn on
the clothing, in the hair, round the neck
and arms, or pendent from the ears, lips
and nose, is the lingering, the model of
convenience. 1t is seldom lost, for it need
not be taken off; requires no preparatory
mutilation of the body, is not painful, is
always in view, perpetual reminder
either of the giver, or of the purpose for
which it is worn. The popularity of the
ring must, therefore, be in large measure
due to its convenience, and that this good
quality was early learned may be inferred
from the Hebrew tradition, which attrib-
utes the invention of this ornament to Tu-
bal-Cain, the instructor of every artifcer
in brass and iron." -Populdr Science MontAly

Extension of Astronomy.

An interesting and important announce.
ment is made by an English scientist, DR..
Pritchard, of Oxford, which, if confirmed,
will give great deal of satisfaction to ali
who study the evening skies. He has sue
ceeded in throwing out his measure-line to
one Of the fixed stars. Hitherto measure
ment has virtually stopped with our own
solar system. The angles which form the
basis of calculation for the remoter stellar
spaces are so infinitisimal that human
vision can take no certain and uniform cog
nizance of them. Until now science could
only draw its great circle and say: Within
this the millions of suns which shine upon
the earth from all directions are not: how
far they really are beyond no one can tell,
only conjecture. But now comes the ca
mera, yeritable new eye for science, as
sensitive as the optic nerve and thousand
times more steadfast and tireless, being able
to hold its gaze upon the minutest object
of search hour after hour, without blink
ing. 1t is with this new eye that DR..
Pritchard has succeeded, as he thinks, in
reading the infinitesimal figures on the
milestone of star 81 Cygni. He gives the
distance S fifty billions of miles, and re-
minds us that this star is probably the
nearest to us of all the bodies in space out
side of our own planetary system.-Home

We have another disturbing element in
the negro population, large portion of
which is untitled for a republican govern
ment by ignorance and social debasement,
but fortunately free from the violence and
turbulence Of the lower class of immi-
grants. This degradation is fast being re-
moved by education and the ambition in
spired by freedom. The latter is shown
by the formation of the Afro American
League for the protection of the blacks.
especially in the Southern States, and the
advancement of their interests and inlu-
ence. This idea originated with Mr.. For
tune, the editor of the New York Freeman.
Few are aware of the progress of negro
education. We have already 10000 col
ored teachers. In the Southern States
alone there are said to be 100000 of
pupils-in the male and female high
schools, $4,000. There are sixty normal
schools, fifty colleges and universities,
twenty-five theological seminaries, and in
the churches 100000 worshipers. The
colored population pays taxes on from $50
to 200 millions of dollars.
The black race will be free from slavery
at the close of this century. The Brazilian
Parliament passed a law for gradual eman-
cipation in 1871, when there were about
100000 slaves. In 1885 the number was
reduced to 100000, and measures have
been introduced to hasten the completion
of emancipation.

One article of subsistence sometimes EN-.
ployed by the Indians is only resorted to
when they are driven to great straits by
hunger. Around many of the watering
places in the pine-forests of Oregon and
California the trees of Pinus poaderosa NAV
be seen stripped of their bark for space
of three or four feet near the base of the
trunk. This has been accomplished by
cutting with Ratchet line around the
tree as high up as one could conveniently
reach, and another lower down, so that the
bark, severed above and below, could be
removed by strips. AT certain seasons of
the year a mucilaginous film (the libur-
NUM- separates the bark from the wood OF
the trunk. Part of this film adheres to
each surface and may be scraped off. The
resulting mixture Of mucilage-cells and
half-formed wood is nutritious and not I'M
palatable, SO that, as last resort, it NAV
be used as defense against starvation.
